haven't played the game, can't wait to, so idk how the story is. So apparently the two empire pilots referenced had the last name rey? or did one of them did? if so, was it female? perhaps Luke and her had it going on. Re reading you first post, perhaps, she is named after them? like Ben for Obi?
Yes, I am in agreement with you. I kind of have to feel it must be Skywalker(rey lineage). Is it predictable? yes? but I think thats fine in this story as it a continuation from Luke. Now that could be Ben aka Kylo Ren and him alone however there's something more, I feel these two are connected(or maybe were friends? in fact, how old is Rey vs Kylo? Obviously Kylo couldn't kill the jedis when he was 10! lol)
Idk about the force awakens being pointless, the loop hole would be that the force was awoken in her thus beginning a new era/war between the light and the dark("the jedi must end").
Poe Dameron is already a child of two pilots, I wouldn't think they'll double up? who knows.
Hmmm the ol switcheroo? Idk, I think Leia's words to han: "Luke is a Jedi, you're his father..." sealed it for me. It's still not out of the realm though cuz obviously adoption doesn't make a parent any less. If there's to be a twist, maybe Rey is the daughter that Leia and Han had but never mentioned? Still crossing my fingers its Luke's baby girl but if done right, I could be open to other possibility.
Sorry for the long reply, but didn't John Boyega or someone else mentioned that we seen Rey's parents in ep.7? or something like that?
